St Oswald
The charming church situated atop a hill is thought to be the site where King Oswald, who reigned from 604 to 642, erected a substantial wooden cross prior to the Battle of Heavenfield in AD 635. This historical event adds a layer of significance to the location, making it not just a place of worship, but also a monument to a pivotal moment in history.
